Abstract

This paper describes our approaches to introduce service learning and research concepts from image and signal processing into the undergraduate ECE curriculum at Purdue University. In particular, we describe two project courses we have developed: one is in the context of the Purdue Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program and the other is a new course known as Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP). We will describe three projects: EPICS TCHA, EPICS C-SPAN, and VIP Multimedia. These projects provide students, from first-year students to seniors, with the opportunities to integrate real-world solutions and fundamental materials covered in the classroom
